Tom: C

C  Am  C  Am

[Verse 1}
                   C
You've got all the toys
               Am
That money can buy
                      C
But still you come to me like a little boy
          Am
So unsatisfied
                     F
Well I ain't casting stones
                C
I don't want apologies
             F       G
You can play around
                          C
But don't you play around me


[Verse 2]
                  C
I'm gonna call it quits
                       Am
Yeah, baby, I've had enough
                   C
Don't want to play cool
                     Am
I don't want to play tough
               F
Oh, all of the best things
                        C
In life, they are still free
                   F      G
Well, you can play around
                          C
But don't you play around me


[Chorus]
F             G
I'm not gonna walk (I'm not gonna walk)
                C
Up on your high wire
F             G
I'm not gonna jump (I'm not gonna jump)
                             C
Through your little hoops of fire
F             G
I'm not gonna dance (I'm not gonna dance)
       C
Like a puppet on a string, oh
        F   G
Oh, no, not me


[Verse 3]
                  C
This is no day of judgment, I'm
                          Am
Not waiting for you to confess
                    C
Not waiting for the proud to someday fall
                  Am
Over humble to be blessed
                    F
I'm not waiting for anything
                       C
Yeah, I'm just walking free
                   F       G
Well, you can play around
                          C
But don't you play around me
                   F       G
Yeah, you can play around
                            C
Yeah, don't you play around me

[Outro]
          Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
          C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
          Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
          C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
